 Kriti Sanon & Bhumi Pednekar shelter animals after themselves as a part of YODA’s ‘Naamkaran’ campaign and appeals for adoption

 

Mumbai, February, 7, 2023: The Youth Organisation in Defense of Animals (YODA) has recently launched a campaign called ‘Naamkaran’ with the likes of Bollywood superstars such as Arjun Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Bhumi Pednekar among others to help promote the concept of adoption around giving the shelter puppies they own name. This campaign comes to life with celebrities giving their own names to shelter puppies along with an appeal to adopt a shelter animal. YODA has also collaborated with indie band When Chai Met Toast to release a song that speaks about the unconditional love, compassion and bond between a human and his furry best friend.

 

People in India tend to take offence every time they learn that an animal (esp. a dog) shares the same name as them. People give names to animals (especially stray) after people they dislike, or feel are inferior to them and out of spite. YODA wants to change this to a trend of people naming their pets to the names of people they love, so that our animals are not wearing a badge of spite, but of pride along with giving shelter dogs an identity and promoting adoption of a pet from a shelter.

 

To make it a trend that the country falls in love with and helps change the mindset at a deep-root level - celebrities and influencers who love animals were roped in to name a pet, after themselves from the YODA shelter - with affection, pride, celebration and support of the animal's innocence.

 

Stars such as Kriti Sanon, Genelia Dsouze, Riteish Deshmukh, Priya Dutt, Karishma Tanna, Arjun and Anushla Kapoor, Pooja Dhingra and Bani J, named puppies from the YODA shelter after themselves and took to social media to capture the moment along with an appeal to adopt these beautiful animals and give them a permanent home.

 

“I recently adopted a shelter dog and I cannot begin to express how, rewarding beyond words, it is to rescue a dog from a shelter and have that dog become part of your family. He is so intelligent, resilient and so loyal. I wish for everyone to break the stigma around adoption and give a furry animal a forever home” says actress Bhumi Pednekar, who adopted an indie dog from the YODA shelter.

 

Apart from this, YODA also launched a song ‘Humein Jeena Saath Hai Yahaan’ that speaks about the ageless bond between animal with popular and multilingual indie-folk alternative band ‘When Chai Met Toast’. The video features celebrities like Bhumi Pedhnekar, Barkha Singh, Priya Dutt, Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh, Kim Sharma and Leander Paes appealing to break this naming stigma and also give these furry babies a home they can call their own.

 

Priya Agarwal Hebbar, co-founder of YODA says, “We would want this song to be heard not as YODA’s jingle but as a true homage to the connection and genuine care felt between humans who care for and adopt animals into their homes and hearts, and how beautifully the animals reciprocate by making the humans their whole world, filling our families with unconditional love, attention and above all, joy.”

“Bheja unfry” - Starting Troubles Season 2 captures the life& journey of a budding neurosurgeon Dr. Sharan Srinivasan, who is trying to treat patients with a technique that magically cures seemingly untreatable and difficult neurological tremors and spasms. However, he faces Starting Troubles as his early success starts troubles among his colleagues and seniors. With refused support from his seniors and after seeing the suffering of his patients and their families, Dr. Sharan Srinivasan, along with his wife Dr. Prathiba Sharan, decided to set up their own social enterprise called PRS Neurosciences focused on restoring ‘functional independence’ after devastating diseases like stroke, head injury, spinal cord problems, Parkinsonism, etc which is still a mirage and not easily available, even in major metros in India and the developing world.  The series starts with a fascinating story of the ‘guitar surgeon’ where Dr. Sharan, portrayed onscreen by Dr. Jagdish Chaturvedi performs the famous live surgery on a patient while he was playing the guitar (True incident in 2017).

  “Our commitment to spreading smiles has been the biggest reason behind Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’s success,” says Rohitashv Gour, aka Manmohan Tiwari of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai

 

 

Rohitashv Gour, a well-known name in Hindi television and films, has become a household name for his portrayal of Manmohan Tiwari in &TV's Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai. The actor has been tickling the audience's funny bone with his impeccable comic timing for years and has become the audience’s absolute favourite. In this candid chat, the actor discusses his journey as Tiwari and what keeps him committed to the role even after seven years.

 

1.    Your character Manmohan Tiwari has become a household name. Were you expecting this kind of love when you started shooting for Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai?

When a serial gets popular, several prominent characters become household names. Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai gave me immense success as an actor. When we started this show, we were worried about how the Indian audience would react to the show’s concept. But today, I am grateful for the love and appreciation I have received as an artist, and I also feel happy for my co-stars and the entire crew. Audiences’ unwavering support for my character encourages me to give my best in the show and continue to create a unique identity in the entertainment industry.

 

2.    What was your family’s reaction when you bagged the role of Manmohan Tiwari in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai?

Initially, I felt that my wife Rekha would not like watching me on screen flirting with the bold and beautiful Bhabi, but she liked the funny antics of my character and loved the show. My entire family has been extremely supportive and enjoys my acting work.

 

3.    What, according to you, is the reason behind the huge success of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai?

The biggest reason for the show's success is its unique characters and funny tracks. The tragedies that our characters face and hilarious get-ups keep the audience glued to our show. On several occasions, our fans have mentioned how watching the show has brought happiness into their lives. There have been cases wherein many patients have written to us stating how the show’s comedy has helped them divert their minds from their pain. Our commitment to spreading smiles has been the biggest reason behind the show’s success.

 

4.    It’s been seven years now. What keeps you motivated to play Tiwari Ji?

The most exciting part is that we portray different stories every week. Every track offers a funny situation and conflicts. The writers need to be applauded for keeping the fun quotient high and giving us actors the opportunity to continue creating magic on screen as actors. This apart, if something interesting comes up for me in the world of OTT, I will do it since it would help me to grow as an artist. However, I will not take up any other project if it needs me to quit playing my character Tiwari, which has brought me immense fame in the industry.

 

5.    Please share with us your passion for acting and your overall journey.

I began performing in theatre during my childhood in Shimla. After that, I got involved in amateur theatre. I got my big break in 1985 in Shimla at a workshop held by the National School of Drama’s and Language Art, and Culture Department, Shimla. I did a one-month acting programme there, which prepared me to pursue a full-time 3-year diploma at the National School of Drama. After completing the course, I started my journey as an actor. Those were my most cherished times, and I learned quite a lot. From being an amateur artist to becoming a professional theatre artist. The journey was quite fruitful and laid the foundation for my acting career. During that time, I shared the stage with many renowned and accomplished artists like Saurabh Shukla, Himani Shivpuri Ji, Seema Biswas Ji, Shrivardhan Trivedi and Shri Anupam Shyam, to name a few. It was a wonderful learning experience. After doing theatre for a while, I got a few TV projects, and finally, in 1991, my journey in television started with a show named Firdaus on DD1. After that, I also did many Bollywood films like Munnabhai, PK, Dhoop by Ashwini Chaudhary, Matrubhoomi and Attithi Tum Kab Jaoge.
